Kapihan

"Kapihan is a Filipino café in Battersea built around a genuinely distinctive idea: hand-roasted Filipino-origin beans, made in London. The coffee here has real identity behind it, and that comes through in the cup."

What we love

• •Uses Filipino-origin beans hand-roasted in London, a sourcing choice that's cultural and intentional
• •The name 'Kapihan' means coffee shop in Filipino, and the whole place lives up to that
• •Coffee draws consistent praise for smoothness and quality from people who weren't expecting to be impressed
• •Food and coffee are treated as a package here, not an afterthought on either side
